Utah in Pictures Part Deux

Here's some more pictures from our Utah trip...
This is the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It's kind of fun to be able to go to two new temples in less time than it takes us to get to our temple here. Wait...


This is another work project the boys did for their mom while we were in Utah. Unfortunately, they actually broke the previous faucet while trying to fix it, but this new one looks so nice!

I really like the aquarium function on my camera. I think this picture turned out rather well!We gave Brent's mom the funniest cup...it's a hula girl complete with a coconut bra and grass skirt. It was pretty cute!
Finally, looking at the camera! Too cute. You both look so famous! Reyes is such a Washington baby. Whenever she would go outside, she would start to whine a little saying that it was too bright. Then she would shut her eyes. This normally resulted in her running into something - which was kind of funny. We just don't get too much bright sun up here!
This was taken at the aquarium. I think it turned out kind of neat. I did cut Brent out of the picture. He was looking at me with this surprised face. It wasn't as cute as this part.
Reyes fell in love with Grandma's stuffed camel (or cameo - is that how you spell it - in Spanish) that she has to represent Julie while Julie's in Kuwait. (They started this tradition when Ryan and Jess were on their missions. That way, they could be "at" family functions, even if it was just a stuffed animal.) So, Reyes was really excited to see real camels at the zoo. I can't remember which kid it was but one of them said, "Hey, these ones have two humps!" The stuffed camel is a dromedary and these are bactrian. Pretty observant.
Marcela being super brave putting her head actually in the lion's mouth. Hmm...guess we did see lions at the zoo...they just weren't the kinds that move around.
Here's Jayson at the Luau trying to suck a pina colada through a tiny "fun" straw. They were cute straws, but they were not easy to get the stuff through!
Ok, that's enough today. This is going to take forever. Blogger is being kind of weird about putting the pictures in and since that's the whole point of the post, I'm going to go get ready for church. Stupid blogger!

Yeah, I finally got caught up on your blog! Love all the pictures (that one of the temple is awesome). Love all your stories.

You will do fabulous in your new calling. If I am allowed to have a "favorite" calling, mine would be serving in the RS Presidency. Great times!
